I have a Inglis smooth top stove, model IME 8230. One of the front has a dial for single/dual --for quick heat up. It was working fine, til couple of days ago, it suddenly went haywire. When I turned it on to low or just #2 (meaning should be low heat),either way to the single or dual , it just heats up realy high(hot), like it 's turned to 8/max for high heat. Normally the element will come on and off when set at any setting(the setting on the dial from low to max); now, it won't go on and off, the element stays on and turns on really hot even set at low. What can be wrong with it??? Would the glass top be able to withstand the high temp. of the element if it does not go on and off periodically????

It has two sets of elements, a single one in the middle if you a cooking a small item, or dual elements that cover a larger area for cooking large items. This works for the top hobs, and also for grills/broilers in many stoves. If save electricity, and also having heat outside the base of a small pan. I see yours says 'Accusimmer', so it is a Whirlpool and it is the top hob.

Either the knob has gone out or the burner element. I would test the knob first to see if there is current when turned to the large zone. If the knob is working, next would be to test the burner to see if the outer ring has burned out. I would guess more likely the control has gone out. Burners have less failure (typically).

I have a GE Spectra smooth stove top and it has two burners in one, The problem is that the inside burner is not working. I need to find out how I can get into the stove to see how to fix it. Does anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it?

similar problem after a power outage. Display would be blank until I turned ON an element (after which display would light, but no power to the respective element. No elements would heat even thought the dial shows power). Turning OFF the element would blank the display. I reseated the power cord and cycled the 50a basement breaker for 5 mins. Everything now works, but not sure for how long.
